How many people code in C these days, and if so, why?

Your problem seems to be being stuck to VS (which is not the best tool to work on code; it is pretty clumsy). >:D When I need to work on a VS project I load the same project in Eclipse CDT and use VS only to compile.

Funny, I was recently watching a video of a guy who teaches C++, and he's been working for years with one of the biggest game companies (Electronic Arts) and he writes game engines for them. And it sounds like he and his company use only Visual Studio.

That doesn't mean it is a good idea. But if you don't know any better then every screw looks like a nail. Last year I had to make some modifications to the Unreal engine and VS was just not up to the job to take on such a large project and work at a comfortable speed (on a machine with 18GB of memory!). Eclipse to the rescue!

Something was definitely wrong there. Used Unreal and Visual Studio for years and it works perfectly.
Edit: intellisense was probably running in background. Normally when I set up my workstation it's the first thing I disable :-DD It's the reason why we use Visual Assist most of the time.

I just tried it and Ctrl-K, Ctrl-C works for me. Ctrl-K, Ctrl-U to uncomment.

I think that is not a "mini-dump", it is a "maxi-dump" ;D

Hey, you're right !!! How come you never told me?? :D
I was trying to set up a menu item to do comments. Never tried the shortcuts |O

Just double checked our project and just the C++ code is around 53K files. It's more than I thought.
